10). The Gerrish House


221 North Main Street, Across from the Walker-Woodman House is the Gerrish House. This house reflects the "Bracketed Style", a simple mode of decoration recommended by the American architectural writer Andrew Jackson Downing. Dating from the mid-1800's. This house reveals Italianate overtones in the paired brackets beneath its eaves and in the elongated doubled windows with 6/6 sash, separated by mullions, tripartite blinds, flat corner pilasters and trabeated entrance, sheltered by a portico on octagonal columns.
